A radioactive sample has an activity A in air. If the sample is kept inside water then its activity A'

Question

A radioactive sample has an activity A in air. If the sample is kept inside water then its activity A' (A) becomes less than A (B) becomes more than A (C) is same as A (D) will be less than or equal to A depending on the density of water

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Activity of a radioactive sample does not depend on the type of medium in which it is kept. Hence, if the radioactive sample is kept inside water, then its activity (A) remains same as in air. i.e., A'=A

Q. A radioactive sample has an activity $A$ in air. If the sample is kept inside water then its activity $A^{'}$ _________

becomes less than A

becomes more than A

is same as A

will be less than or equal to A depending on the density of water

Activity of a radioactive sample does not depend on the type of medium in which it is kept. Hence, if the radioactive sample is kept inside water, then its activity $(A)$ remains same as in air. i.e., $A^{'} = A$
